A force lance is a smooth barelled weapon about 3 feet long, similar to a large crossbow stock but with a barrel instead of a bow mechanism. It has a trigger that turns on a mana battery, which then discharges magical energy along the thaumic coils along the barrel. The magical energy is discharged as a silvery bolt of force. The force lance can be overloaded to release a long lance of magical force along the line of fire, but this can only be done infrequently as it will lead to damage to the force lance.
